FREQUENTLY ASKED QUSTIONS
To get the best results for your spray tan, stay hydrated and moisturize leading up to your appointment, but avoid moisturizing after your prep shower.
Exfoliating is crucial beforehand—it helps create an even canvas and ensures your tan lasts longer. Make sure to remove any leftover tan.
Shower, shave, and exfoliate the night before your appointment no later than no later than 6-12 hours prior. Showers can leave soap residue on your skin, and shaving or hot water can open pores and leave unwanted moisture, causing issues with the development of your tan. Use a gel-based soap instead of a creamy, emollient-rich wash, and avoid razors with moisture strips.
Do NOT apply deodorants, lotions, body oils, or makeup before your appointment. Leave all products off after your prep shower.
Waxing, manicures, pedicures, and other beauty services should be done at least 24 hours before your spray tan. Spray tanning should always be the final step in your beauty routine.
Avoid using Dove or Olay products before or after your tan.
You should expect to be with us for approximately 20 - 30 minutes. Upon arrival I will help you choose what color and solution is best for you. The spray tanning session itself will only take about 10 minutes. After your session you will see an immediate color, however this is just a cosmetic bronzer and will not be your actual tanning results.
This is your time to chill out! Once your spray tanning session is complete you will want to refrain from getting wet or sweating until your first rinse. Do not touch your body with the palms of your hands while bronzer layer is still on. Rinse time is based on desired color. If you choose to sleep in your tan prior to showering make sure you sleep in long loose fitted clothing to avoid skin to skin contact. Sleep with the air or fan on to avoid sweating.
Rinse at the time we discussed during your session without soap. Cold or lukewarm water is best.
Use the palm of your hand to glide off all bronzer from your body until the water is clear. Refrain from using any type of loofa because they tend to be too abrasive for a new tan.
You will look light as your tan is not fully developed.
Always pat dry, never rub.
Soap shower can be taken 12 - 24 hours post spray tan session. Use a pH balancing body wash or a fragrance free gel based wash. Refrain from bar soaps.
Moisturize 2x a day for the best looking results!
